It's FUD, FUD, FUD.

"I don't understand how to do it right, I've had a bad experience therefore it's bad."

WRONG. Complaining about something you don't really understand is what is _poisonous_...

Real life counter-example:

* Standup with a 15 people team lasted 7 minutes every day (worst day, 10 minutes). This included 2 remote members.

* It ran at 10am, so people in flexi time could come as late as possible (core hours start at 10am).

* Scrum master noted all impediments, and those only, so action points were always taken if necessary and skipped if pointless.

The key is: do it right, with self discipline. Agile is a practice, and as with any other practice it takes dedication to master.

Simply doing stuff superficially and then complaining is... unuseful.
